Carrentals.co.uk Sees Olympics Car Hire Jump, Advises Advance Booking
Leading car hire website reports high demand for cars with Games only 100 days away
/EINPresswire.com/ 20 APRIL 2012 - Carrentals.co.uk, the website that helps people save money on car hire in over 15,000 locations, has issued advice to fans heading to the 2012 Olympic Games this year - book your car hire in advance. The website has recently reported a rise in the number of people booking car hire around the London Olympics.
The website says that up to four times as many travellers have booked their hire cars during the period between 20 July and 12 August when compared with a year ago. Carrentals.co.uk also reports that 40% of these total bookings are set for collection from London's Gatwick and Heathrow airports.
Carrentals.co.uk reports that most bookings have been received for the dates of July 20 and 21 2012, as people look to arrive in the UK before the Olympic opening ceremony on July 27th. The site also says that bookings have been made for an average period of 10 to 12 days, with 50% of these rental bookings being collected at Gatwick and Heathrow.
Carrentals.co.uk Managing Director, Gareth Robinson, commented: "There will be many, many more people wanting to get out and about around the UK at the time of the Olympic Games, and car hire demand is up accordingly. The country's public transport will struggle to cope we think."
"UK train tickets are known for being pretty expensive and as such the train is not a very practical way for big groups or families to get around. A hire car gives greater flexibility - but with demand so high advance booking is essential this year."
Carrentals.co.uk is the UK's leading car rental comparison site, comparing deals from up to 50 rental companies including Alamo, Auto Europe, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt, in over 15,000 locations worldwide.
